PREFACE. 


1 offer the following to the Presbyterian Mission as the result of 
tny eflbrts in accordance with work set apart for me by the annual meet' 
ing of 1892-93. 

By way of introduction l tray say that until one has learned the 
force of verbal endings anil connectives in Korean, it is an impossibility 
to do translation work or even to use the common spoken forms correctly. 

Standard enmoun literature is con ined to the translation of the Chi¬ 
nese classics, and consequently does not include all the expressions in the 
spoken language. The only way left therelb'v to arrive at any fixed con¬ 
clusion regarding these, is to collect all possible varieties front different 
parts of the country and compare them. In this endeavour I have em¬ 
ployed natives from the North, from Seoul ant) from Kiung Sang Do. 
and I have received some help front works already published, although 
many of the common endings, like ^ ^ C K ^ d ^j" and 

c |", seem to have been overlooked by those writing on Korean. 

We are obliged to make a distinction between ( - *£f) the verb of , 
action and *$’ the ending denoting condition or character. The for¬ 
mer, corresponding to the character I have marked ("if) to dis¬ 
tinguish it from I he latter. 

The following list includes samples of all possible verbal forms, .ind 
any endings not appearing here can be judged by the rules governing 
their particular class. 

The sentences at the close have been chosen to illustrate these ver¬ 
bal forms and to introduce students to Korean custom and superstition, 
something necessary, it seems to me. for a correct understanding of the

people. From I to 300 they are numbered, to facilitate finding the end¬ 
ings in the list. In this collection of over one thousand sentences I have 
found none that do not conform to the rules given. Some of the endings 
could not be illustrated except by long paragraphs and those I have been 
obliged to omit. 

I have added the noun forms as well and a few others that seemed 
to associate themselves naturally with the verbal endings. 

Hoping that the study of these may prove as useful to others as the 
labor connected with it has to myself, I offer it as a step toward reaching a 
knowledge of this language. This is intended to supplement rather than 
to take the place of other publications on Korean.
